Hey folks, I'm Vivek! I'm excited to share my vision for ending the plastic epidemic and The Sustainable CO-OP Store.

Our vision is to create an Amazon-like online store, along with a physical location, but only for sustainable friendly products.

Instead of building this startup as a traditional investor-backed company, we have decided to create it as a worked-own cooperative. There are many reasons why worker-owned co-ops are amazing. Greater financial equality between all workers, increased business stability, a democratic workplace, community-centric and much more. Still, the thing that I believe is most powerful about a worker-owned co-op is that it's mission-driven over financially driven.

When we complain about how farms use various chemicals in our food or how social media companies are continually trying to get us to use their apps, it's because these companies are under pressure to grow their profits--quarter after quarter, year after year. They have investors who demand growth, which often forces them to compromise their products and services to meet these demands.

Worker-owned co-ops generally don't have those same pressures because the workers, not the investors, own the business. And because the workers get paid a salary or wages, they aren't stressed whether the company grows or not. They instead can focus on whatever they determine is most important, whether that be job security, profitability, the product, or something else.

We have our first general meeting tonight, and we're looking for folks who are passionate about the environment and may be interested in getting involved (it isn't a full-time thing yet). For this idea to succeed, having a few enthusiastic software developers will be essential. If this sounds like you, this meeting will be of interest.

I hope to see you tonight! Thank you

PS. If you want to learn more clearly about the difference between a startup and a co-op, I made a video on YouTube. Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNJupnV6SgA&t=6s
Presumably the only effect this will have is that ideologically inclined netizens will now start seeding it on your nearest public torrent tracker instead. While not ideal, I’m happy we still have a free enough internet that these types of rebellions are possible, regardless of what you may think of the legal implications thereof.
well 00 makes sense with florida's fuckery and its well known russia helped trump but we weren't sure how deep it went in 2016. so those 2 have real evidence and make complete sense.

Dont pretend inciting sedition on completely fabricated claims is remotely similar

HUGE leap to compare those to Trump and his attorneys falsely asserting widespread election fraud in public, and filing over 50 lawsuits across states

> Al Gore presided over the meeting in 2001. He overruled these objections because no senator joined them

> Senator Barbara Boxer [...] joined Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones [...] lodge a formal objection to Ohio’s electoral votes. The objection compelled Congress to spend two hours in debate

Two hours in debate! You're really comparing that?

(There was no vote in 2000 or 2016, so that isn't true)
Yes!

This is also why I think Sparkle [https://sparkle-project.org/] is one of the best things about the Mac application ecosystem.

Edit: Should mention why, because it presents a consistent, and clear, UI for users and it encourages developers to write release notes.
That is, nonetheless, quite a lot. Imagine what would happen on earth if the sun were to disappear for 24 hours. How long would it take for life to return to normal?

It's not the net energy gain in the earth from one day of warming, which isn't all that much. It's the total amount of energy that falls on the earth, which is a lot. Enough to do massive damage if it happened all at once.

This was spread over 10 years so it doesn't provoke that kind of disaster. But it illustrates what an enormous amount of energy is involved, and is now permanently added to the earth's biosphere. And ten more years will add even more than that, only now we have less ice to moderate it. That means more of the delta will go into warming the seas and the atmosphere.

For some reason, we never talk about the religious motivations behind the creation of the state of Israel.

The balfour declaration was signed well before the holocaust had ever happened; using the holocaust to justify the creation of the colony if israel is anachronistic at best.
It blows my mind that we all start off as a sphere and then fold inside ourselves to make a meat tube. Life is so amazing!
> But can you find a expert explaining the numbers which came up in lottery last night with such a believable narrative (wrong or right)?

Isn't that what fortune tellers are? The only difference is that most people know that trying to predict the lottery is bullshit, but most don't think that's the case for stocks despite evidence to the contrary (eg. that actively managed funds underperform passive funds on average).
Pretty solid advice, nice article.

One thing:

> For example, on my (pretty average) workstation, I can do ca. 25k simple read transactions per 1 CPU core on an “in memory” pgbench dataset…with the default config for Postgres v13!

Forget about reaching those numbers on managed DB-as-a-service instances, specifically Azure managed postgres. In my experience these have comparatively poor peak performance, with high variability in latency to boot.

Bare metal all the way, if you can spare the allocation of a dedicated DBA.

Also... if rapid reads and steady performance is what you're after, provision a replica for the occasional analytical workloads.
I'm not sure I believe the claims that companies were afraid of this documentary for its content. For example you can rent or buy this movie on Amazon[1] or Apple[2]. If those companies were afraid of the content, that wouldn't have happened. The more likely excuse is that it is a niche documentary that didn't have enough financial upside to merit purchasing exclusive distribution rights and "Here is a documentary they don't want you to see" is great for marketing.

Florida in 2000 was a far more reasonable objection: the election was much closer and the lawsuits were intended to stop a recount which, we now know, Gore would likely have won had it continued. That’s a far cry from trying really hard not to accept that the completed recounts showed the same sizable win.
I’m going to guess no.

This move is nothing but PR. Google will claim the moral high ground here then turn around and violate its users privacy or sell AI technology to despotic regimes.

It’s easy to claim the moral high ground when it costs you nothing to do so.
Also why not make editing available for n minutes? Perfect for typos.
The show started off great in the first season but then it became harder to believe as it went on that a rag tag group of people were at the almost at the forefront of all these technological revolutions in computers.

I get that it's fiction but still .... you gotta keep it somewhat believable.

It would've been better if, much like Forrest Gump, all these revolutions happened in the background but they weren't necessarily at the forefront of them.
My point is that "success" on the stock market isn't always a function of doing anything useful in the real world.

Everyone else had to play by the same rules until SpaceX doesn't. You say it's fair, but certainly if you were in that industry as a competitor it appears as favoritism. They also lie to push things through, like rate of decay, speeds offered, latency.
We added a variety of guided off the rower programs that include exercises like push-ups. We even do things like use the frame to let the user perform incline and decline push-ups.

Facebooks days truly are getting numbered now.

It must be basically unheard of in history for the far left and far right to experience the same issues in such a similar way, I wonder where it may lead. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all.
Whether you believe climate change is real, not real, man-made, not man-made, naturally induced, unnaturally induced, etc., its all pointless.

Electric cars are the future no matter what. They're quieter, they produce less emissions over their life cycle, they have a lower TCO (total cost of ownership), they're faster, and frankly, every electric vehicle I've ever driven is just plain more fun to drive (granted I've only ever driven three, but still...).

Our shipping is moving away from oil and to natural gas, because shipping is an enormous contributor to CO2 emissions.

So oil's value is going to be dropping precipitously in the next 100 years.
So no protection for the users?
More research about "fighting misinformation" that doesn't deal with the core issue of what will happen if its methods will be used to label true information as false. In other words, this is a paper that is all about finding better ways to manipulate people.
> It mostly kicks up in the morning but I have no idea what is causing it to think the air quality is bad.

If it's a standard PM sensor, those usually have a high temperature correlation that needs to be compensated for, and turning on the heat in the morning would likely produce a false positive with only naive signal processing.

What about legal demands on the original authors? In this case, say an end user has a copy of v2 but only in binary form, can they then legally demand the (v2) source code from the company and claim breach of contract if they refuse? AFAIK it’s a central part of the GPL to be able to request source code, and presumably especially so in the hypothetical case where you have bought it from them?
A pretty narrow conception of "AI monitoring" -- I'm guessing the author is talking about monitoring in context of IT?

Bit annoying tone tbh, like a tadpole in a puddle bragging it's got the ocean all figured out.

Failure prediction, process modelling and other applications of AI monitoring in an industrial context are more and more mainstream these days. It's not just startups trying to pitch, it's established players deploying real-world solutions, and infrastructure giants providing the building blocks.

The title is "Google won't donate to members of Congress who voted against election results". There was no vote in either 2000 or 2016.
Lack of OffscreenCanvas (without setting a flag) and OffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D in WebWorkers (no flag at all) makes my WebXR project almost unusable (I have to jump through some ugly hoops of fading the view to black during scene loading to keep the user from throwing up from the render thread frame drops). Having to polyfill WebXR out of the ancient WebVR API is a pain, too.

Normally, the fact that practically nobody actually uses Firefox would mean it's not a huge problem. But the only standalone VR headsets with a Chromium-based browser are the Facebook headsets. If Firefox were better, I could be running twice as many of the not-Facebook-encumbered Pico Neo headsets for the same price. As it stands, Oculus for Business headsets are almost the same price as a Valve Index, once you add in the mandatory "support" yearly licensing fee.
Yeah, you should be wary of trusting your employer too much, but if you go through your (professional) life with an attitude of "don't turn your back on anyone, they're all out to get you" the quote above will turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy...

To extend on your analogy a bit: Imagine working on that term paper on GitHub and then having your repo deleted. The odds of reproducing that information completely is zero. But there might still be some forks (related species) around. So it's pretty hard to wipe out everything.
> As the advent of antipsychotics and antidepressants reduced their population, these hospitals were an obvious target for budget cuts throughout the 80s and 90s

Do you have a source that shows that public funding for hospitals and treatments for mental health declined during this time period?

From a quick search is seems it has risen considerably throughout the 80s to today.

I understand your concern. On the other hand though, if fossil fuel based business is going to shrink massively over the next few decades and their entire business resolves around this, switching while carrying across their brand and relevant expertise seems like a perfectly sensible thing for their shareholders to do.
>meaning I don't have to teach them the intricacies of rpm like apt search is rpm -Q, apt install is rpm -i ...

"rpm" is not an equivalent to "apt", it's an equivalent to "dpkg".

The tool you would actually use is "dnf" or "yum", which isn't any more difficult to use than "apt" is.

"dnf search"

"dnf install"

"dnf remove"

"dnf list"

etc.

Al Gore and George Bush had lawsuits going for many weeks that ultimately went to the Supreme Court.
Quite the opposite. I'm from a lower middle class family and that because my parents worked overtime in their blue collar jobs. I went to a public 4 year university. I was successful in college precisely because I didn't have a privileged background. While I also had no idea how to manage that much money, I erred on the side of caution. While my contemporaries lived in dorms, I spent half and rented a house with several other people some miles from campus. I didn't have daily Starbucks. I didn't party or skip classes. I worked 20+ hours while I was in school.

> I assure you your classmates who went to private 4 year school on dad’s dime do not reflect the majority of working class millennials.

I wasn't talking about working class millennials, but millennials in general.

> For many millennials they are more worried about being wiped out by a trip to the hospital that would cost the price of 3 lifetimes of lattes

Yeah, we have private health insurance and that really sucks for those who don't have access to decent insurance. But that doesn't justify living it up in school. Note also that I'm not even blaming millennials per se; our society failed to teach us personal responsibility, and it went even farther by creating a loan program and dumping us into a predatory university system with the vague guidance that we should follow our dreams, have a good time, and everything will just work itself out. Of course the majority of us took the bait and lived it up. Worse still, we graduated into an economy that was worse than what our parents dealt with. Excuses abound, but nevertheless, our generation YOLOed pretty hard even though the YOLOing wasn't evenly distributed.
For 2000 at least one is Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL). I'm not going to search for the others, it is public record, because I don't think your question is genuine.
I see an awful lot of hand waving in your response. “But this situation is different”

The crux of the issue isn’t how much time they wasted it’s the fact that they objected to a legitimate election.

Google needs to grow a pair and take a stand. But they won’t because it was never about that in the first place.
Exit polls for the 2020 election show that there was an almost 50/50 split between Biden and Trump across multiple ascending education levels, the only exceptions are those with a postgraduate education, who voted 62/37 for Biden/Trump.
Even with all reporting and telemetry disabled Firefox sends network requests to Mozilla’s domains upon launch, providing Mozilla with usage tracking data. It would be nice if users who care about this could get Mozilla to honor its privacy claims and configuration settings.
I really wish they would stop focusing on politics too. Now their latest political stunt has got heads rolling, hopefully Mozilla will learn that their money is best invested into Firefox.
Of course. I'm just saying that while cultures have been cobbling together collections of stuff since time immemorial -- doubtless there were archives much older than these -- the really interesting innovation didn't occur until the Renaissance. Yet this article doesn't even mention it.

That's news to me. I do that almost on a daily basis with Firefox.

With a Democrat controlled House, it was impossible for the objections to reverse anything. Everyone knew the objection was symbolic.
Our default assumption, particularly in the House, should be that they're doing what they think will give them the best chance of being re-elected. (Of course they may or may not be correct about that.)

So their main concern is just being on "the right side" of the issue, rather than necessarily having any actual impact.
Doing it right is the best way to foil the ones trying to do it wrong.
> It's a never-ending shit-show.

Exactly. Interests rates at 0%, wages stagnating and the system has been setup so that I'm essentially forced to participate in the market (otherwise I miss out on salary). AND these hedge fund idiots are feted as geniuses for their stupid plays.

I am basically at 110% cynicism regarding my 401k and would lose but an hour of sleep if it disappeared tomorrow. Fuck it, I'm all in!

We usually try not to position ourselves as the Peloton for rowing but it made sense here for people to quickly understand what we do.

I think Peloton adding a rower is a great thing, it is going to bring more awareness to the benefits of rowing. We differentiate ourselves from Peloton through out content. While they are best in class at instructor led workouts, we aim to be best in class at high intensity and competitive video games, races, and strength programs. There is certainly going to be some overlap.
